As a hobbyist project mostly developed by a single man in his free time, Bananarchy may eventually suffer the same fate as GerdaOS and cannot guarantee any particular feature or target support delivered within any timeline, however, there is indeed a clear vision of the milestones on the path to the first stable release version:
1. Full hardware support for Nokia 8110 4G (`argon`).
2. A set of significant performance improvements over the stock pmOS/Nura.
3. Revamped, optimized UI for phone-specific functions like dialer, contacts, call log and SMS.

The road to make keypad smartphones great again was never truly abandoned, and the most exciting section of this road starts right here.
## The verdict (aka the _short version_ of The Manifesto)
In the trying times when:
- perfectly working devices are declared obsolete and not getting any official support,
- official mobile OS developers opt for further closing down instead of opening up,
- any bit of common sense and technical merit gets overrun by dubious political agendas,
- less and less people still remember what a usable keypad phone UI/UX looked like,
- even less people remember that Nokia phones used to support installable UI themes,
- and the true spirit of EZX, Qtopia, Maemo, MeeGo, Firefox OS and now, it seems, postmarketOS too has been completely lost in time, not unlike tears in rain, —
the Bananarchy Linux distribution is here to help anyone who still dares to challenge the current mobile OS world order and truly own their devices that were hopelessly abandoned by the manufacturer.
We start small, with the focus on the 8110 4G and other Qualcomm-based keypad Nokias originally running (now outdated) KaiOS, but then the distro may extend to support different types of phones and chipsets. The road to make keypad smartphones great again was never truly abandoned, and the most exciting section of this road starts right here.
